Comment 7 for bug 441941

I also experienced this exact problem when doing a clean installation of 9.10 (dual boot with Windows XP Professional). After installation, I can boot into Ubuntu over and over. If I boot into Windows XP once, when I reboot it hangs at "Grub loading" indefinitely. Only option is to hold the power button. I must confess I am too timid to attempt the workaround. I went ahead and went back to grub legacy and 9.04 for now.
